LETTERS

I am a tax-paying, registered voter in North Mason School District. I helped with Glenn Landram's and Nena Andrews' campaigns by talking to people about their merits and how both of them are pro-student and pro-education.

Now there is a special-interest group that has decided that my vote and the votes of other North Mason voters do not count. They have taken a no-confidence vote against Mr. Landram and Mrs. Andrews and as such believe that they should be able to oust the two school board members who were voted in legally.

It is interesting to note that less than 50 percent of the school teachers (that would be the special-interest group) actually live in, pay taxes and vote in Mason County. The teachers union has an agenda — it is not pro-student, it is pro-teacher contract.

All Mason County voters who voted for Mr. Landram and Mrs. Andrews have a right to be outraged at the teachers union and their agenda. The union obviously does not understand the concept of one person, one vote. They want to overturn what the taxpayers and the voters of this county decided.

Enough, teachers — get back to teaching and quit disrupting democracy.
